The ship spawning DID STOP HAPPENING!
You start a patrol, and the game loads all the background stuff (ports, airbases, etc) because it always does. They persist the entire war.
Then the game loads the mission layers as defined in campaign.cfg based upon the dtate you start your patrol. So it might load all the 42a_ layers. 42a_Jap_TaskForces.mis, 42a_US_taskforces.mis, etc, ad nauseum. Those mission iles each contatin traffic that spawns between 1 March, 1942, and 31 August, 1942. If you remain on patrol til 31 March, there is still traffic all over the map. As you get into September, all that traffic that might have spawned as late as 11:59 on the 31st starts going back into port. When it does, thats it. No more traffic.
The FOX traffic stuff is scripted, it gets broadcast all the time, the contact reports are generated by the game---no ships, no contact reports.
